title: An improved method for the synthesis of zirconium (CCC-N-heterocyclic carbene) pincer complexes and applications in hydroamination.
abstract: Upon heating Zr(NMe(2))(4), 1,3-bis(N-butyl-imidazolium)benzene diiodide and toluene analytically pure Zr pincer complex was obtained, which was found to be an intramolecular hydroamination catalyst.
